  • I don’t necessarily miss the memes, and a lot of the jokes would get repeated to death because everyone wanted their chance to say them, but I do find some of the Lemmy communities I follow can be kinda self-serious at times. I guess with a larger audience (Reddit), there was just more room for a joke or meme to land without derailing the thread or annoying people.







  • I agree on the Twitter-style social media thing. I almost never used Twitter in all the years it existed, so I also don’t really post on Mastodon much. I used Instagram to share photography with friends/family overseas and so Pixelfed could potentially be of value to me, but I understand not using it if you never used Insta in the first place.

    As for Lemmy/Reddit, I think the quality of content heavily depends on what your interests are. There’s plenty of good content for certain subjects (e.g. tech stuff) but I find Lemmy is sorely lacking in other areas, and so you tend to lose out on some of the diversity of opinion that made Reddit so good (or at least good to me). That’s largely been my issue with Lemmy overall and I think why I don’t use it as much as I used to use Reddit — a lot of the stuff just isn’t there yet, or if there is a community there might only be like 3 people posting.
